A Remarkable Cure OF Deafness

| am going to tell you about my case in part.
Some thirty years ago used to be troubled
with cough, and threw up mucus, junks Of hard
matter. People said it was the catarrh, took
DIR. Marshall's Snuff. 1t would make me
sneezc, and give relief for short time; but the
trouble grew worse. Some fifteen years ago it
got so bad that had to breathe out my mouth.
Ten years ago it caused partial deafness, which
increased and for the last six or eight years
have been stone deaf in my right ! have
taken doses Of physic powders, and pills, from
various physicians, and applied hlsters with
only temporary relief. But of late | am get
ting,permanent henett-for have been taking
Johnson's Anodyne Linment for the last five
months. In short time after commenced tax
ing it and applying it to the ear according to
the directions, there appcard to be large round
substance in my right ear got loosed from its
fastening, and would move around as my head
was in different positions. 1t continued to
grow smaller; and, about forty days since it
was all dissolved and gone, and can hear
well as ever l could. Your Imminent the
cause Of my recovering my hearing; and it has
done more for me than anything else. will
make oath to the truth of these statements any

for me; and | concluded to write, for it might
do somebody some good. Yours gratefully,

We frequently hear it said that Maine
offers no inducements to men to remain
on its territory, and that there are no OPP
portunities to make money here, and yet
the fact remains that by some means, an
immense amount of money has been made
in Maine, and that her business men and
capitalists, are sending millions of dol
lars annually to the Western States and
to the Pacific coast for investment in
real estate and bank stock. If Maine is
such a poverty stricken state as some of
the men, who having made good nice
property here are now about to risk it in
the western investments would have us
believe it Is, how is it that there is such a
large amount of money to be found In the
state? 1t is bit of advice worthy of con-
sideration "Speak well of the bridge that
carries you safely over" 1t may be that
all of our friends will not get wealthy in
the untried fields of the boundless west,
and will want to return to the old State
of Maine to recuperate their wasted fort
unes. Therefore we say, don't speak too
disparagingly Of theState where you have
gained competency, and that has given
you facilities to gather money to invest
elsewhere.
